Versailles Restaurant
Best Cuban Restaurant in Miami · FL
The world's most famous Cuban restaurant
Versailles has billed itself as 'the world's most famous Cuban restaurant' since 1971, and in Little Havana it's more than a restaurant — it's the unofficial town square of the Cuban exile community. Politicians campaign at its ventanita coffee window; news crews park outside for every Cuba headline.
Behind the mirrored, chandeliered dining room is a full menu of Cuban classics — ropa vieja, palomilla, pastelitos — but Versailles's real dish is its role as the beating heart of Cuban Miami.
